I could watch these videos all day.....a master craftsman doing his work with that easy laid back music, just completely mesmerizing. Your pieces are always absolutely beautiful.
@@StinnettSticks amazing workmanship. I have to admire the time you take and the detail you take in doing these projects. I don't know that I would want to take a cane like that out in public. Perhaps they need to be in a museum. Or on stage with the bearded Brothers of the Blues Texas you know rattlesnake country. I'll never forget the ZZ Top concerts I've been to.
The stick carvings on this channel are by far the best I have ever seen in my life. You could believe that they are the real thing, you are the master of your trade!!!
It is always a joy to watch you create a new work of art, but today we had a lesson on how to add impressive details with simple materials, congratulations.
Stinnett Sticks I’d like to try some how. Not sure how. To give you a piece of lumber from a butter nut. It’s kiln dried already. Just want to see you work your magic on it. Any ideas how to get it to you?
Wow - you actually made *keeled* scales for the rattlesnake! That is so cool!!! And the tongue in the position that they are when the snake is really feeling some resentment, LOL. 👍
You know I am a snake man and live and work with rattlesnakes every day. This carving is so dead on that it looks alive. You my friend are a true artist and I just love this dam walking stick.🤠👍🐍
You are the Bob Ross of the wood carving world, you make it seem so easy and fun! With that gentle voice alongside it X3 such a charm and talent you have!
You couldn't have a better voice for these videos man. Even though they make me extremely jealous of your Art lol I enjoy them. Not to often I replay a TH-cam video. I find myself replaying your videos over and over. I WILL be great like you one day lol ... I hope
Unbelievable work Mr. Stinnett. Truly inspiring and beautiful. Very happy to have discovered your videos recently on TH-cam. Your family does a wonderful job filming and little Pearl is just about the cutest dog ever. Thank you for sharing your extraordinarily unique talent with the world, it's spectacular to view your art and process. Best wishes.
Two reasons why I would never use one of your walking sticks. First being that they are a work of art and should be showcased, second they are so realistic that they are unnerving. What a special talent that you have been given.
Perfection plus a tongue.Awesome touch! Can't wait to see the opened mouth snake that you mentioned in one of your responses.That will be great to see.👍
I did my first snake walking stick recently, as I grew up in Australia I copied Mikes red bellied black snake but with a skull on top and gave it to my grandson for Halloween, no where near as good as Mikes but I was delighted with the comments people made, hopefully I can get better as I go on, but Mike Stinnett you are the inspiration and undoubtedly a master craftsman, thank you!!!
I absolutely love your work, and I think these works of art are worth every penny. I plan to commission one or buy one as soon as I win the lottery or as soon as the VA says they will buy me one. I think the leather tongue is a great added touch!
Hi stinnett David here a scot living in London I love your vlog as always you are fantastic and I will be following you as always but have missed you for a will so thank you for sharing it David
Thank you for watching, David! I'm going to try to be more consistent about making videos weekly, but they take a lot of work, haha! See you next time, my friend.
All I can say is WOW I mean WOW It's amazing Mr. Stinnett your amazing every time I see your work I'm in ah of how truly talented you are I just want to thank you and your family for sharing these beautiful works of art with us and little Mrs. pearl to God bless and we'll see you next time
When I saw the thumb nail of this and the field mouse video my first instinct was to report the video for animal cruelty! Your work is just phenomenal, so realistic. Your videos have a certain kind of beauty to themselves as well (instant blood pressure reduction). Super inspirational.
I'm into carving walking sticks too. I've only been carving for about 7 years but I haven't been consistent with it. The only tool I've used is a rotary tool similar to a Dremel. However, I've managed to completely finish only one, stained and glossed. Your work is extraordinary and amazing. I'm learning a lot from you. You are truly an amazing artist. God bless you and Thank you for this video. Please Continue to make more. I'm now a fan. 👍👍
I've learned a lot. Great things comes with patience, hard work, dedication and love. The snake is beautiful, I usually like them and I know it's not easy to give souls to them but you did. Respect to your skill and thank you.
It must be a bit unnerving to try something like that if you've never really done it before, particularly on something that's taken you so long to create! I had faith you'd do an amazing job and, true to form, you did!
I thought the level of detail in your work couldn't be improved upon, then you added the tongue! Hands down THE most lifelike and beautiful carvings of these mis-understood creatures. I wish I had the resources to own a whole museum of your work, different species and variations and so on. Your vision of what is basically just a hunk of wood, and the skills and abilities to bring these carvings "to life" are awe inspiring! My favorite feel good channel: the music, the narration, the little bits of nature you throw in are all so calming, I get lost in them and if only for the duration of your videos. Thank you Mike for sharing these.
First let me say that thing is amazing and that's from carpenter. Secondly as I have a side job as a backpacking guide in the grand canyon that stick could cause a dog gone problem ha ha ha
Every time I watch your videos, Mike, I can't help but marvel at the patience you display when burning those scales into the wood. In this video, you told us that it took 2 days to finish that little job. I was amazed. Today, you added a flicking tongue to your snake. I thought that was a lovely finishing touch. Enjoy the new week and may God bless you through it. (^_^) Kind regards. Liz.
This is a pretty cool suggestion, maybe make a snake with his mouth open and make it be chasing a toad or a frog. The snake would have the teeth out and everything. I think its a pretty good concept.
I going purchase a Cobra snake I am a Iraqi war Veteran your work is worth it I have contacted you thank you Sr I served in the United states ARMY 2000-2009 I will stay in touch again thank you
Mike that`s extraordinary, you have gone the extra mile to make the most realistic snake yet. I don`t know about leather cordage is it to do with saddlery? also the paint is light sensitive, so does this stiffen the tongue you made as it looks like it does? My dentist uses UV light to harden fillings is this the same process? There now Mike, is that enough questions for you? No 81 eh, your patience is incredible, looking forward to no 82 and onwards. Regards to you and your lovely family from John in England.
Thank you, John! I had some fun with this one. This type of leather cord is used mostly for necklaces. The paint is not light sensitive, but the liquid plastic is. It is really fun to work with because it sets hard under UV light in just seconds. Yes it is what stiffened the leather and added a wet looking shine. It is very similar to what a dentist uses. Take care my friend! I'll see you on the next one!
Thanks Mike I appreciate you taking the time to tell me, it is most useful, as not many carvers are so forthcoming with their information, and it is most helpful, You are the Best Mike, and we Will see you on the next one, Regards.
Very interesting techniques you use and beautiful results! I'll have to try them as you've inspired me to start carving wood. I've carved stone in the past, but wood works very different to stone. Perhaps you could do a video talking about how you learned to carve and paint like you do? :)
I'm really glad to have inspired you, Charles! I will keep it in mind to do a video about how I learned to carve and paint. Thank you for the suggestion.
This is so beautiful, I can't say anything you haven't heard a million times already. But I can tell you about a friend of mine who I cannot share your videos with because she has such a snake phobia. Oh well. I love watching how you turn wood into snakes and other things, and had been wondering if you would ever do one flicking its tongue. Now all we need is fangs! I can't imagine how hard those would be to carve! That light-cured plastic on the tongue is perfect. It looks so real. Beautiful piece of art. Thank you and God bless.
Jean Blythe My roommate is the same scaredy pants person too about snakes, but i sent one of these vids to her, and she liked it. ISH. I have been trying to EXPLAIN why snakes are GOOD, blah blah, she gets it, but, she would still kill one. UGH! NO PROGRESSION.
Stinnett Sticks Unfortunately haven't had much time for fishing . Hopefully there'll be more time when the ice comes on in a few months . I hope you've had more time for it .
You sir are a genius. Your craftsmanship is unreal and unique.
I have no words to describe your beautiful artistry Sir !!amazing work 😊

Its cool to see you try something new! I guess the next new thing would be to have the snake open its mouth!!
You are the Bob Ross of the wood carving world, you make it seem so easy and fun! With that gentle voice alongside it X3 such a charm and talent you have!
Thank you very much!
GoldenDragon5882 better than Bob
Andrew Wallace Why compare them? Aren't they both pleasant to watch in their own ways?
Iris exactly… they shouldn't be compared as they are from 2 different art mediums
If only I Lived in USA, I'd love to meet you and drink some coffee just to see you carving this amazing art..

How much are these awesome creations anyway ?
LOL, that takes the realism to a whole new level! Love it!
This is amazing!! So realistic I would jump if I didnt know it was made from wood.
Absolutely brilliant, no only the level of detail but the level of skill required to achieve it. Well done, amazing!
Oh my goodness, this is a new level of carving.
You’re like the bob Ross of carving
You really are amazing it’s insane and I idolize your patience and craftsmanship, I’m always in awe

Man you are great and Don't worry about dislike ,the problem is they hate snakes.
The tongue looks like glass!! It's so cool how you used leather first and then plastic...so creative!
It was a lot of fun!
Welcome back and once again another awesome masterpiece
Absolutely delightful addition to your rattler!
When I saw the thumb nail of this and the field mouse video my first instinct was to report the video for animal cruelty! Your work is just phenomenal, so realistic. Your videos have a certain kind of beauty to themselves as well (instant blood pressure reduction). Super inspirational.
Why is your first instinct to report a video for animal cruelty when there is an obvious food chain and hierarchy within the animal kingdom?
AvidClimber because on the recent mouse video the thumbnail looks like he’s about to Dremel into a live mouse’s skull.
Dr Lulz oh lol didn't notice that
Dr Lulz logic and discernment is key to adulthood my friend. Your comment was intended to be a compliment; on second thought as well. Discernment...
that is one of the most beautiful hand crafted pieces of art I have ever seen
From thumbnail i thought you are cutting the snakes tongue .
True
Yes yes
Me too
Me too!
Dear Sir,i think you make wood,for your dog ( Sorry,my Eng is bad )
ONE OF THE VERY FEW *TRUE ARTISTS* STILL LEFT IN THE WORLD! MUCH RESPECT✌🏻
Wow! Looks so real! 🐍 You are a very talented artist! 👍🏻❤️

Who thought that it's more realistic if it's tongue would be straight..?
i think it looks more realistic without tongue 😶
You are truly gifted my friend!!
I thought it was a real snake in the thumbnail
The first time that I saw this was on Facebook. This is still my favorite piece that I have seen that looks so real
Thank you very much!
